Saturday, 4th May 2002

After erecting our tents and settling in Anthony and I wandered the 150m down the lane to seek out this tomb. It was described as being a wedge with a 5m chamber in a well preserved cairn. The well preserved cairn is now a very overgrown cairn and the 5m chamber was quite difficult to see.

One roof stone remains in place at the NE end (the tomb is aligned NE-SW with a small portico at the SW) which just pokes out through the gorse.

If this site was kept clear it would be a great little tomb.
